FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP?

Answer

Please make sure to RSVP by June 14, 2025. This allows us to give our vendors a correct count by their deadlines for us!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We would love to see our friends and family dressed up and feeling their best! We are requesting cocktail attire for the day. Think suits or a shirt and tie for men, and your favorite short or long dress for women -- no jeans please! Although not required, we would love to see our guests in bright summer colors as well!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to limited space at our venue, we are only able to accommodate those formally invited on the invitations. If you received a "plus one," it will be noted on your invitation in order to RSVP. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

We love your little ones, but due to limited space at our venue, we have decided to keep our wedding for those that are over 21 years old, with the exception of our perfect goddaughter, Mia (: We encourage you to use this as a date night to get out and party with friends and family!

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

We are asking all phones and cameras to be put away during our ceremony, so our photographer can get the pictures we intend for her to get! We would love to look back on pictures of all of our friends and family being fully present with us on our big day. And we will be sure to share these photos as soon as we have access to them!

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Our ceremony will start promptly at 3pm at Mother of God Church. We would love for everyone to arrive 15-30 minutes before the ceremony time, so our guests have time to greet each other and be seated before we begin.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Is the Pope catholic? P.S. Please don't get us kicked out or make us lose our deposit (:

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

CEREMONY: Parking is available in two lots on either side of the church, directly connected to it. There is also a parking lot across the street that can be accessed from W. 6th St. Turn right on Montgomery (between Russell and Madison) at the light. Montgomery dead ends into the lot. RECEPTION: There is a pay-to-park parking lot just past our venue at: 221 W 5th St Cincinnati, OH 45202. We are looking into reserving spots for our guests, and we may be able to send out vouchers. Stay tuned!

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes, head on over to our "Travel" section of the website for the link to our hotel block. If you would prefer to stay elsewhere, there are plenty of wonderful hotels near our venue! We so appreciate our guests traveling to see us!
